Best Muppet Show Episode Ever

I have to say, the best Muppet Show I ever saw was the Wally Boag episode. I liked the idea of a Vaudeville show, and the acts were funny. My two favourites were the back-to back segments of Miss Piggy with Foo Foo, and the Leprechaun Brothers: Swedish Chef, Beaker, and Animal. This was a really funny episode, and I liked how everything was done.

I haven't seen all of the episodes, and I don't necessarily remember all of the ones I have seen. But just going by what I remember, I'd have to say that the best episode is Linda Ronstadt. She is a strong presence both onstage and backstage, gets a big part of the backstage plot, gets a chance to be funny, gets to sing four songs, and has good chemistry with the Muppets. I think it was pretty rare to find a guest star who hit all of these marks, and she did it great.

Another guest star who does all these is Liza Minelli, and Alice Cooper and Raquel Welch come pretty close, too.

But, of course, just because I might hold these up as the "best" doesn't mean that I won't change my mind with the very next episode I watch.

yeah I haven't seen every muppet show episode either but I'd say for the moment it'd be the Alice Cooper episode 1. for it being so odd and 2. just because piggy gets transformed into a rainbow afro bird thing hahaha

The Connie Stevens episode, mostly because it was my first episode ever I saw with the Muppets, and the fantastic songs. (Teenager in Love, Ain't misbehavin', Close to you). Also, who can forget Lydia, oh Lydia, have you seen Lydia, the tattooed lady?

Personally the Star Wars episode is the episode I like least... Mainly because they take too much place, and it becomes "The Star Wars Show with guest stars the Muppets" rather than "The Muppet Show with guest stars from Star Wars".

The Harry Belefonte one comes to mind for me. That song Turn the World Around is probably my favorite closing number ever. I thought he really got along well with the Muppets plus I loved Fozzie trying to be a writer.

Wow... NO ONE liked the Loretta Swit episode best? That had the best acting, plotline and songs in it. Yeah, Belefonte, Carter, Randall and some others were spectacular, but nothin's cooler, to me, than seeing Kermit have the upper hand on Piggy.

My most favorite episode of The Muppet Show is from Season One with Ethel Merman. I like that episode a lot because she sings some of her greatest show tunes including "There's No Business Like Show Business" as the finale. It is at least the greatest episode, I think, for season one.

I would say the Twiggy episode, if only for The King's Breakfast, and Uncle Deadly. Plus I'm kinda in love with Twiggy.

The Twiggy ep. was always one of my favorites, mostly due to the Uncle Deadley stuff. That moment when he first sneaks up on Kermit backstage, then proceeds to choke him when the frog attempts a joke...brrrrr...spooky stuff!

And "The King's Breakfast" always made me laugh, especially when he slid down the bannister!
